Frequently Asked Questions about valr-exchange

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate VALR API trading actions without exposing my API secrets?▼

Automating VALR API trading uses a Python script to sign requests with HMAC-SHA512, reading credentials from environment variables to keep secrets secure while placing orders and fetching balances.

How do I authenticate a VALR API request using HMAC-SHA512?▼

Authenticating a VALR API request requires an API key and secret to sign the payload with HMAC-SHA512. The included Python script handles this signing automatically using your stored credentials.

Can I use a subaccount API key to fetch VALR balances and place orders?▼

Yes, subaccount API keys work for VALR API scoping. The script supports both main and subaccount-level keys to retrieve balances, place orders, and manage subaccount status deterministically.

What VALR market data can I retrieve through public API endpoints?▼

Public VALR API endpoints provide live market data access, allowing you to pull current market summaries and order books without requiring API key authentication or signed requests.

How do I manage spot and perpetual futures orders on VALR via an AI agent?▼

Managing spot and perpetual futures orders on VALR involves executing authenticated API requests to place, modify, cancel, and view order statuses directly through the agent's environment.

What environment variables do I need to set up VALR API authentication?▼

VALR API authentication requires setting environment variables for your credentials, specifically VALR_API_KEY and VALR_API_SECRET, or the combined VALR_API_KEY_SECRET_COMBINED variable.
